1.0 INTRODUCTION

Commercial food service means a business that makes money by selling food and
drinks. Commercial food service operations might be independent, chain, or franchise
properties.

Students will study the topic of Commercial Food Service Operations in this
semester (HTF491). Students can study about and gain an understanding of the
management and operation of restaurants during business hours by taking the course
Commercial Food Service Operations (HTF491). The topic will be separated into the
service and cooking sections. The front of the house is referred to as the serving group,
and the back as the kitchen. In week 8, these two groups will be in reverse order. All of
the class's students will have the opportunity to perform both professions this way.

A commercial food service operation's main objectives are to serve clients food and
beverages for a profit and produce a satisfying guest experience. Students are trained to
prepare a lot of food for consumers that visit vanilla eateries in commercial classes. To
prepare the predetermined cuisine in the allotted time by the chef, each student will have
a specific duty to play.

Students will be guided by the chef throughout the commercial lesson to avoid
making mistakes when cooking cuisine.

Students can learn from this and utilize it in the future to gain experience working in a
restaurant kitchen.

3.2 THE JOB ALLOCATION

For this week, we have delegate the works and also courses to particular students, so
that everything will run smoothly. Here is our report:

3.2.1 Before devouring the main course, one must have an appetizer, and we had
given the task to this particular student:

i. SITI NUR HAFIZAH BINTI MOHD AZMAN

She was asked to prepare an appetizer called Potato Salad with Orange
Dressing. Before the class began she do research about the dishes that would
be prepared. While cooking the dishes, the chef assists her by demonstrating
examples of how to plate the food. When the server receives the order, they
complete and deliver their dish in the same way that the Chef has demonstrated
the meal.

3.2.2 We have given the task to our staff member to prepare the soup, namely:

i. NURFAIZAH BINTI SHAMSUL

We do research about the recipe and we make a mistake during preparing the
soup due to the many ways to prepare the dish however the chef reprimanded us
and corrected our mistakes where we boiled the pumpkin first which should have
been sautéed.

3.2.3 For the main course, we assigned five staff members to handle the main course,
namely:

i. SYARIFAH NUR FAGHIRA BINTI SYED AHMAD AFANDI

ii. WAN NUR IZZAH BT WAN ADZHAR

iii. TENGKU SITI AISYAH BT RAJA DAUD

iv. NURALINA ZARIFAH BINTI ZULKEFLI

V. NURUL ATIQAH BINTI ALIAS

With the help of the chef on duty, Syarifah was assigned to prepare the pan-
seared seabass starting by filleting the fish until seared the fish while Izzah is
doing the lemon butter sauce. For the second main dish was prepared by Tengku

 HTF491 | REPORT ON CHEF OF THE DAY

which is grilled beef tenderloin and black pepper sauce. In the first place we
planned to do the black trumpet sauce however due to the absence of the main
ingredient which is black trumpet mushroom so we decide to change the sauce
to black pepper sauce. At the same time, Atiqah was assigned to cut the
vegetables into batonnet cuts and we can see here where the chef place great
emphasis on uniformity of size. Last but not least, Alin was delegated to prepare
the potato quenelles and the chef was emphasizing how it should be prepared
and formed.

3.2.4 For dessert we specified the task to one of our staff members who is:

i. NURZULAIKHA NASUHA BINTI ZAMRI

We entrust Zulaikha to prepare the fruit platter. She cut the fruit according to the
standard that has been set by the chef here also the chef emphasizes uniformity
of size and an orderly and clean way of working area.

4.0 COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 Comments

The comments we received throughout the commercial food service operation class
were quite satisfactory. We need a little bit of improvement on the soup because the
cream of pumpkin is rather bland and too creamy to the point of nauseating some
individuals. However, we accept the feedback with an open heart and full of regret. In
fact, we care taken in advance not to repeat the same mistake in the next class.

4.2 Recommendations

The suggestion which can be practiced is to taste before serving to the customers and
always study the menu as well as do deep research on techniques that are being
required and practice it along before starting the class so that we know how to handle
the food according to the standard.

5.0 CONCLUSION

We may infer from our week three experience as COD for a commercial food service
company that we learned a lot about managing food correctly in accordance with the
commercial industry. Being a COD is very important to us since we are given a lot of
responsibility and must always respond and act quickly to what happens in the kitchen
each day to avoid unfavorable events. Each group's job menu for the week must be
served after which the kitchen, work table, and all previously used equipment must be
cleaned and put back in its original location. Additionally, In order to prevent injuries, we
also learned how crucial it is to operate in a clean and secure environment in the
kitchen.

We would like to thank our lecturer, Chef Mohd Azuan Bin Mohd Alias, for
providing us with this opportunity to learn and for correcting our errors during the food
preparation process. COD has given us a lot of new experience in becoming good
leaders in the future in this food and beverage industry. Being a COD also allowed us to
learn a lot of new things, like how to work efficiently and precisely with food. Finally, even
if there are still many changes to be made, without the excellent collaboration and
unwavering support of our classmates, we could not finish our classes and
responsibilities even though there are still many improvements to be made by us.
